Help please. The water supply to a toilet mysteriously stopped providing water overnight. I shut the water off to the bathroom and removed the quarter-turn supply valve. It’s the type that you glue on to the existing CPVC supply pipe. I removed it by unscrewing and separating the valve in half – the glued half remains on the CPVC pipe, see photo. I restored water to the bathroom and still got no flow to the toilet. I did get flow to the sink and shower. Hard to believe the pipe to the toilet only could have clogged overnight. 25-yr old house, well water not particularly hard, no water softener.
Some background: I replaced a worn out fill valve in the toilet tank about a year ago. The new fill valve was faulty and never shut completely off but we lived with it for a year by turning the Q-turn valve on and off for each use (yeah, I know…) Suddenly, turning on the Q-turn valve provided no water. I assumed the faulty fill valve fully failed and replaced it with no improvement. I removed the supply hose from the Q-turn valve to check this valve, still got no flow, so I assumed the Q-turn valve failed (maybe the handle broke from the ball.) That’s when I separated the valve as described above, found the valve to be working fine, and realized I had no flow from a completely open pipe after turning the water back on.
What could be going on? Thanks in advance.
